On a roll here, chaps and chapesses .. that song by Ry Cooder, sung on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1982, was of course Elvis Presley’s, from 1961 … meaning 21 years later … so there’s a lot of this sort of thing going on. Written by Doc Pomus.
Doc Pomus, Wiki bio:
(Written) for what he said were “… those people stumbling around in the night out there, uncertain or not always so certain of exactly where they fit in and where they were headed.”
John Lennon told Pomus the first song the Beatles practiced together was a Pomus song. Bob Dylan came to Pomus when Dylan was experiencing writer’s block.
Pomus also focused in later life on helping forgotten R&B artists who had fallen on hard times.[3] The Rhythm and Blues Foundation provides artist grants through The Doc Pomus Artist Assistance Fund.[21]
“Save the Last Dance for Me” has been called his crowning achievement. The lyrics came to him at his wedding, watching his wife dance with others, Pomus being unable to dance because of polio’s effects on his body.[12][9]
And that very song is the finale in my long saga/trilogy called Masquerade, in which the two partners in life have passed over to the next house, about to go through yet another door to the next phase, apart, so they dance to this Doc Pomus song:
All right, enough nostalgia for now … let’s get back to the current day and its horrible politics … after an episode of The Saint which, incidentally, I’ve just sent to a friend of mine called lida, an architect/artist:
First … time for a little ditty from an ole guitarist, Ry Cooder:
Actually, David Lindley also played guitar on that track. Right … going to state, categorically, that I have never in my life moved from one sister to another … there have just been some things happening in RL in the last few days which two people know about, involving a big sister, long gone in the mists of time.
Just reminded me of the song, that’s all, plus the idea of returning to memories … hmmmmm, not at all sure about that as an exercise. Mixed. First there’s an album from the 70s by a German band, Thirsty Moon, called You’ll Never Come Back. Well I have … here I am for now … back. Who knows for how long?
Those days are past now And in the past they must remain But we can still rise now And be the nation again
Phew … talk about Britain in our case being right there in that position now. The other song was The Carnival Is Over, by the Seekers.
Now that song I’ve written of before. The scene was a warm summer’s evening by a bay, on the beach in Victoria, Oz, in the late 60s … endless summer, zero concept of that freedom ever ending, and a group of us were trudging through cool sand (I suppose) up to an actual, a real carnival, up in town beside a pier jutting out into the bay.
The wind was variable, the evening otherwise calm … we were just happy to be going to the carnival. The wind changed direction and the tannoys at the carnival suddenly sent a song our way … Judith Durham and that song. I swear that that is in no way embellished, embroidered … that’s exactly how it happened, the rest of the memory gone.
Some time after that, I did return here, drove north from London … there we go … things can suddenly change. Moral of the story? Appreciate what we have while we still have it.

Hmmmm, not going to spend any more time on it, other than to say it’s a rare occasion where (probably) Toodles as I know her Christian beliefs, plus IYE, plus I, all flatly reject the source as apocryphal and frankly anathema, as it stems from the other side. Separate post from me at some stage on esoteric pseudo-mysticism.

That’s when Kennedy ended the interview with a bang, sharing his genuine thoughts about Trump for three straight minutes. It was one of the standout moments of the entire conversation. If you’re on the fence about Trump, listen to Kennedy here. It might just change how you see him. “I had him pegged as a narcissist, when narcissists are incapable of empathy. And he’s one of the most empathetic people that I’ve met,” Kennedy said. “He’s immensely curious, inquisitive, and immensely knowledgeable. He’s encyclopedic in certain areas that you wouldn’t expect,” he continued. Kennedy added that Trump genuinely cares about soldiers who go to war, citing how Trump “always talks about the casualties on both sides” of the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
“Whether it’s vaccines or Medicaid or Medicare, he’s always thinking about how this impacts the little guy. And the Democrats have him pegged as a guy who’s sort of sitting in the Cabinet meeting talking about how can we make billionaires richer. He’s the opposite of that. He’s a genuine populist,” Kennedy said.

1. Taken from the TDS newsletter this morning
”The Chief Executive of Warwickshire County Council has defied the authority’s newly elected Reform leadership by refusing to take down a Pride flag, leading Zia Yusuf to warn that “a coup d’etat is underway in Britain”. The Telegraph has the story.
George Finch, the new leader of Warwickshire County Council, ordered Monica Fogarty to take down the banner flying outside county hall in line with the party’s manifesto policy to only fly British flags.”
There’s of course the sodomy issue itself but I’m more interested in the presence in that quote of Yusuf., the fine upstanding member of no cult at all who certainly gets around in the shadows … thought they were rid of him after he quit the party dot dot dot.
(1756) Right, back again, evening all, grey sky, coolish.

3. *On DAD’s 4a
What communists or spawn of satan or WEF version at every time in history have always done is study deeply every civil and civic underpinning, institution in society with a view to crowbarring fissures into it, resentment, making it unworkable.
No one knows the bible better than this lot, no one knows the nation’s laws to the letter better than this lot I’ll call Them. In jocular form, WC Fields spoke of looking through the bible … for loopholes.
Whether the new bad Pope (immediately Catholics excommunicate me) and the Patriarch who met, dripping in gold plating and trappings (that’s the Orthodox now excommunicating me) or whether it’s Calvin treacherously inviting Savonarola in order to burn him to death (that’s any Calvinists excommunicating me in my depravity and original sin) and so it goes on and on …
… every single denomination or cult (that’s Jim Joneses or Mansonists) looking for me to kill, if other cults don’t get to me first … DAD’s 4a today was all about shaitan creating fissure, though Them do not state it to be such. Was the priest in order to refuse communion? If so, then what about Leviticus and other chapters on unnatural use of other humans? Should they not be refused to?
Same human failing as Lucy Connolly v Glastonbury … either hypocritical or cherry-pickingly inconsistent humans over-emphasising this verse and neglecting that. One anti-Christian cult at least raises that to an art form.
Should the human priest have refused communion? To my mind, it comes back to remorse=> atonement=> redemption. Was that MP remorseful or was he another whited sepulchre?
